Disconnect 
power 
to 
the 
junction 
box 
before 
making 
the 
electrical 
connection. 
* 
This 
appliance 
must 
be 
connected 
to 
a 
grounded, 
metallic, 
permanent 
wiring 
system, 
or

It 
is 
the 
responsibility 
and 
obligation 
of 
the 
consumer 
to 
contact 
a 
qualified 
installer 
to 
assure 
that 
the 
electrical 
installation 
is 
adequate 
and 
is 
in 
conformance 
with 
the 
National 
Electrical 
Code

Risk 
of 
electrical 
shock 
(Failure 
to 
heed 
this 
warning 
may 
result 
in 
electrocution 
or 
other 
serious 
injury.) 
This 
appliance 
is 
equipped 
with 
copper 
lead 
wire. 
If 
connection 
is 
made 
to 
aluminum 
house 
wiring, 
use 
only 
connectors 
that 
are 
approved 
for 
joining 
copper 
and 
aluminum 
wire 
in 
accordance 
with 
the 
National 
Electrical 
Code 
and 
local 
code 
and 
ordinances. 
When 
installing 
connectors 
having 
screws 
which 
bear 
directly 
on 
the 
steel 
and/or 
aluminum 
flexible 
conduit, 
do 
no 
tighten 
screws 
sufficiently 
to 
damage 
the 
flexible 
conduit. 
Do 
not 
over 
bend 
or 
excessively 
distort 
flexible 
conduit 
to 
avoid 
separation 
of 
convolutions 
en 
exposure 
of 
internal 
wires. 
DO 
NOT 
ground 
to 
a 
gas 
supply 
pipe. 
DO 
NOT 
connect 
to 
electrical 
power 
supply 
until 
appliance 
is 
permanently 
grounded. 
Connect 
the 
ground 
wire 
before 
turning 
on 
the 
power. 
PAINT] 
(if 
your 
appliance 
is 
equipped 
with 
a 
white 
neutral 
conductor.) 
This 
appliance 
is 
manufactured 
with 
a 
white 
neutral 
power 
supply 
and 
a 
frame 
connected 
copper 
wire. 
The 
frame 
is 
grounded 
by 
connection 
of 
grounding 
lead 
to 
neutral 
lead 
at 
the 
termination 
of 
the 
conduit, 
if 
used 
in 
USA, 
in  a 
new 
branch 
circuit 
installation 
(1996 
NEC), 
mobile 
home, 
recreational 
vehicles, 
where 
local 
code 
do 
not 
permit 
grounding 
trough 
the 
neutral 
(white) 
wire 
or 
in 
Canada, 
disconnect 
the 
white 
and 
green 
lead 
from 
each 
other 
and 
use 
ground 
lead 
to 
ground 
unit 
in 
accordance 
with 
local 
codes, 
connect 
nevtral 
lead 
to 
branch 
circuit-nevtral 
conductor 
in 
usual 
manner 
see 
Figure 
4. 
If 
your 
appliance 
is 
to 
be 
connected 
to 
a  3 
wire 
grounded 
junction 
box 
(US 
only), 
where 
local 
code 
permit 
connecting 
the 
appliance-grounding 
conductor 
to 
the 
neutral 
(white) 
see 
Figure 
3. 
NOTE 
TO 
ELECTRICIAN: 
The 
armored 
cable 
leads 
supplied 
with 
the 
appliance 
are 
UL-recognized 
for 
connection 
to 
larger 
gauge 
household 
wiring. 
The 
insulation 
of 
the 
leads 
is 
rated 
at 
temperatures 
much 
higher 
than 
temperature 
rating 
of 
household 
wiring. 
The 
current 
carrying 
capacity 
of 
the 
conductor 
is 
governed 
by 
the 
temperature 
rating 
of 
the 
insulation 
around 
the 
wire, 
rather 
than 
the 
wire 
gauge 
alone. 
Where 
local 
codes 
permit 
connecting 
the 
appliance- 
grounding 
conductor 
to 
the 
nevtral 
(white) 
wire 
(US 
Only) 
(see 
figure 
3): 
1. 
Disconnect 
the 
power 
supply. 
2. 
In 
the 
junction 
box: 
connect 
appliance 
and

cable 
wires
